📋 Description of content that is out-of-date or incorrect

Someone in #general today made the assumption that useLocation returned a signal. I implicitly mad the same assumption. However, the doc says

"Retrieves reactive location object useful for getting things like pathname"

One could assume that a "reactive location object" is or is not a signal. I think if it is a signal it should say so. If not a signal then, at least to me, it implies that Solid has a reactive object/data structure that I have not see documented anywhere else.

I personally don't see a problem with the wording of "Retrieves reactive location object". This would imply to me that its not a signal and just an object that changes based on the router location. Also I think the types help show its not a function call

Do you have suggestion how to make it more clear?

I agree with @brenelz - if you have any suggestions on how to reword, please let us know but for now I'm going to close this issue.
